High Prices Rule for Street Pave ments in Portland. It is a well-known fact that where there is no competition, either by rea son of protected rights or because of there being no opposition, that prices are high and that the safest and sur est way of getting prices down to where they legitimately belong, is to have an honest competition. This ap plies to contracting and materials, as well, and it is a well-known fact that honest competition (not competition in combination) is the property-owners' sasfeguard. That Portland property owners have not had a full measure of this competitive protection is made very plain by the fact that since the Denny-Renton' Clay & Coal Company has endeavored to introduce vitrified brick in this market, other paving ma terial men admit that they have been charging too much. If property-owners have their own interest more at heart than they are concerned in the profits to a local paving company, they will save money by giving their sup port to vitrified brick pavement, which costs less than stone, is free from the objectionable noise feature of stone, Li a smoother pavement, is easier on horses, and, by being smooth, will save a large amount in the repair bills of vehicles, and it carries a guarantee that makes It good under heavy traffic for fully 25 to 30 years. By opposing vitrified brick at this time, the people of Portland, will con tinue to pay excessive prices that they may now free themselves of. Give Vitrified brick pavements a chance to compete and you will be in line with a great majority of the cities of the United States, where brick has been tested for years, under al kinds of traffic, and is growing m6re and more In favor, being by over 60 per cent in the lead in street-paving materials in 434 cities In this country.
